PDF Views:0
Objective : The main objectives of this study was to assess nutritional status: BMI and obesity in perimenopausal and postmenopausal working and non-working women.
Method : Anthropometric measurement - Height and weight of all the subjects of the study were noted and Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the formula = Weight (kg) / Height2 (m). Assessment of obesity in menopausal women through BMI was calculated.
Result : Non-working perimenopausal and postmenopausal women was more obese in comparison to working perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Percentage of normal BMI was high in working perimenopausal and postmenopausal women in comparison to non-working perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Similar percentage (3-3%) of underweight was observed in the four groups.
Conclusion : Mean value of BMI of working postmenopausal women and non-working postmenopausal women was high in comparison to working perimenopausal women and non working perimenopausal women, but no significant difference was observed in the mean value of BMI of the four groups.

Introduction : Present study sought to assess nutritional status: BMI and obesity amongst perimenopausal and postmenopausal working and non-working women. The purposive random sampling was used for the collection of data. A sample of 120 subjects was selected from the district Jodhpur at different work places for women, such as schools (govt. and private), university, hospitals (govt. and private) and door to door household too. The sample consist of 60 working (30 perimenopausal and 30 postmenopausal) and 60 non-working (30 perimenopausal and 30 postmenopausal) menopausal women, between 45 years to 55 years.Objective : The main objectives of this study was to assess nutritional status: BMI and obesity in perimenopausal and postmenopausal working and non-working women.
Method : Anthropometric measurement - Height and weight of all the subjects of the study were noted and Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the formula = Weight (kg) / Height2 (m). Assessment of obesity in menopausal women through BMI was calculated.

Background: ADRs constitute an enormous burden for society and it is one of the leading causes of death. ADRs are poorly and inadequately reported and up to 57% of ADRs are unrecognized by attending physicians.
Aims & Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the frequency, clinical pattern and spectrum of suspected ADRs in admitted patients.
Material & Methods: This study was conducted, in a multidisciplinary tertiary care hospital, in which a total of 54 cases with suspected ADRs were enrolled. Data was collected by a researcher through telephonic conversation by healthcare professionals from the admitted patients of hospital in CDSCO - ADR reporting form. The data were analyzed by Microsoft word - excel version 2007. All the multiple responses were presented in terms of numbers and percentage.
Results: In the present study, maximum patients (31.48%) belonged to 26-40 years age group, of these maximum patients (35.18%) belonged to lower middle socioeconomic status. Majority of patients (68.51%) were residents of rural areas. Skin & mucous membranes and gastrointestinal system were most frequently (37.18%) involved organ systems; most frequent ADR (17.58%) was skin rashes, followed by pruritus (13.56%). Majority (56.78%) of suspected ADRs were associated with antimicrobials. Among antimicrobials, ceftriaxone + sulbactam is associated with majority (34.51%) of suspected ADRs.
Conclusion: ADR monitoring is the key component of effective drug regulation systems, clinical practice and public health programmes. Hospital based ADR monitoring and reporting programmes aim to identify and quantify the risks associated with the use of the drugs.
